SAMSUNG ATIV S WINDOWS PHONE 8 NOW IN MALAYSIA?

Although Nokia and HTC are generally the most activeWindows Phone 8manufacturers out there, let’s not forget there are several other companies in the mix as well includingSamsungand Huawei. In fact, Samsung actually announces its Windows Phone 8 device – theAtiv S–even beforeNokia announced its Lumia 920 and 820. Despite that, the Samsung Ativ S has never officially made it into Malaysia before which is why its sudden appearance onThunder Match’s Facebook pageraised our curiosity.

According to the listing, the device is priced atRM 1,699which puts it in the same price range as HTC 8X and Nokia Lumia 820. Here’s the thing: there is no mention of the device on Samsung Malaysia’s website or even its Facebook page which made us wonder whether it is an actual official release or a parallel import by Thunder Match. Hence, we have contactedSamsung Malaysiafor further comments.
